Answer:
The expressions are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three-tenths of the total volume, v =
= 0.3 × v --- (1)
But, 310x is 310 × v --- (2)
Since (1) and (2) represent the same volume,
0.3 × v = 310 × v
Divide both sides by v,
0.3 = 310 which is a contradiction.
Therefore, the expressions are not equivalent.
